This is the city: Los Angeles, California. I work here. I'm an ex-mayor. Los Angeles is a magnet for people from all over the world. Some of them run for public office. Inevitably some of them stray from the golden rule and rule for those that have the gold. That's when I go to work. My name is Yorty. I'm a dead pol.

My Tree is Bigger Than Your Tree

I think Steve Hymon from the LA Times is suffering from tree envy. Today he chronicled the height of LA's Christmas tree with those of other major cities. Leave it to a guy to get in a "my tree is bigger than your tree" pissing contest. Oh well. He needs to remember this old addage: "It isn't the size that matters. It is what you do with it"

I like Steve Hymon because he's not afraid to report city hall shennigans. People do read LA Times including valley people. We don't have great choices here in LA but thanks to Hymon, Patrick Mcgreevy and David Z. we get stuff we normally wouldn't be getting. Thanks guys.
